Yep, just two colors. Red and brown. Red=45 and as IBteri said, brown=8 in the bin.

there's also an "Event" where a villager finds a mushroom... i had mine eat it.... good thing too... 500 in the food bin and kid became an adept healer on the spot..or was it a farmer??? lol sooooooo many kids hard to keep track

Just one quibble... 8) Why are the best mushrooms RED , when they're, the red ones, are usually poisonous

As far as I know, only the mushroom you get through an event may be poisonous. All the others you pick just naturally are ok

I dropped 3 kids on one mushroom and each kid picked up a mushroom. Just thought I would share the tip. It works with both. Haven't had any bad mushrooms.

A good trick for the early stages when your low on food and are waiting to farm(or if your just bored later)When you see a mushroom push the spacebar to pause the game, then start plopping as many kids as you can on the mushroom(be careful not to smash the mushroo,put them off to the side and watch the action change to picking up mushroom)then hit the spacebar again and all the kids you sucessfully gotten over there will have their own mushroom!

I'm been lucky (and quick) enough to be able to place up to 8 kids to get that mushroom!

I read there was a way to get more than one child to pick the same mushroom. If you don't want to know, don't highlight the following text. Pause your game <space bar>, then pick up your kiddos one by one and drop them on or very near the mushroom (you will see the status message "picking a mushroom", then unpause your game <spacebar>, and away they go. I have seen up to 4 or 5 kids get the same 'shroom and you get food points for each.
Sometimes they jam up around the food bin and I think not all the mushrooms get counted. But you're good for more than one, in any case.

I have had all 13 of my tykes on the mushroom and it counted for all of them!
